Unfortunately I can only make the Sunday of this so can't do it, unless someone only wanted to play the Saturday

Keith,

I think Simon has been in contact with you about playing on the Saturday.

It will be great if we can get one more player to avoid having to have byes.
Where there are two names above it is because one player is playing on the Saturday and the other on the Sunday.

I can supply an army that has a good chance of success if needed.
